Marquette coach Buzz Williams has landed his highest-ranked recruit as Golden Eagles coach with the commitment of star guard Jajuan Johnson of Memphis to join the program’s 2013 recruiting class.

Johnson, a 6-5 scorer from Southwind High, picked Marquette over offers from Alabama and Miami, according to Scout.com.

Scout ranks Johnson as the No. 33 prospect in the senior class. Williams’ top previous recruit was 2010 No. 34 Vander Blue, a shooting guard who has been a member of the school’s consecutive Sweet 16 teams. Marquette has not signed a higher-rated player since Scout began evaluating talent.

Johnson told Scout.com he chose the Golden Eagles after visiting all three campuses.

“It was a basketball town,” he said. “Everything was about basketball.”

Scout.com analyst Evan Daniels said the addition of Johnson to a group that already features 6-4 guard Deonte Burton of Brewster Academy in New Hampshire and 6-2 point guard Duane Wilson of Milwaukee lifts the Marquette class to top five-level.

Johnson is a shooting guard but does have some playmaking ability because of his athleticism and ballhandling skills. Playing for the Memphis-based Bluff City Legends squad in the EYBL Finals at the Nike Peach Jam, he scored 19 points in a July matchup with top prospect Theo Pinson. He also performed well at the LeBron James Skills Academy.
